about

A song written early in the pandemic. Inspired by a Roethke poem. Ron James joins the trio on drums via video from Illinois.

lyrics

Reading by the light, provided by a candle
Trying to turn the page, to understand the new manual
The world still spins, but the day has lost structure
The earth beneath our feet, fissured and ruptured

In a dark time the eye begins to see
The buds are still blooming on the trees
The tides are still breathing on the seas
In a dark time the eye begins to see

We've still got two ears, to hear each other's cries
Echo down the empty halls, we're separate but united
Our comfort is muted without the sense of touch
We'll still hold each other up, we'lll still be each other's crutch

Chorus

It's an uncharted vast wilderness
We can stay together if we follow our compass
Discover the glory of the stillness
And focus on the beauty that leaves us breathless

Chorus
